--bootstrap-version flag isn't working

[m-tse]

I'm using this knife plugin to set up GCE servers using chef. I require that a specific version (12.3.0) of chef-client is installed on the server nodes, because the latest version (12.4.0) breaks my cookbooks. So I attempted to add the --bootstrap-version 12.3.0 flag to the knife google server create command, but it doesn't work. The latest chef-client version (12.4.0) gets installed regardless of what I pass in. Here's the relevant console output:

mtse@XXXXXXXXXXXX chef-gce]$ bundle exec knife google server create mtse-base-vanilla-5 -m n1-standard-1 -I centos-7-vXXXXXX --gce-zone XXXXXX -r "role[base-vanilla]" -E staging-gce --bootstrap-version 12.3.0

Notice how the 12.4.0 version of chef-client gets installed even though I specify --bootstrap-version 12.3.0

@MATTSE
We are looking into this, sorry for delay was busy with releasing stuff !
Is this issue still there for you?

[Vasu1105]

@MATTSE We are able to reproduce the issue. It's not working for command line option but its working if you set this option in knife configuration file i.e. knife.rb, so use configuration file till we fix this issue for command line.

Thanks.

@MATTSE , fix has been merged in master branch. Please verify.

@NimishaS I just tested this against master of this repo and it works! Thanks so much for fixing that.

Are there any plans to do version releases of knife-google? I see the last version released was 1.3.1 on 4/28/2014. I'd like to lock down which version of knife-google I'm using, rather than just going off master.
